Every now and then we all have bad days, and we all know how badly they suck. A bad day is definitely not fun, but they just happen, you can't do anything about it. You can only try to stay optimistic and hope the next day will be better.I have a friend and she is the realest person I know. She goes through a lot she shouldn't have to but she still finds the time to make sure everyone is having a good day. If they aren't she takes the time to listen and help out in any way she can. Many of times I have called her up hysterically crying, at some points I couldn't even talk. She would just listen to me cry and I would listen to her tell me all the reasons why I shouldn't be crying. She doesn't like to see anyone having a bad day. She puts others before herself all the time. But the thing is, she doesn't have to do that. She does it because happiness is important to her. Happiness for herself, and others.
She sends out a Word of Encouragement almost everyday. And everyday I try my best to stick to the advice and spread it on to others. But recently one Word of Encouragement really stuck out to me.
It read:
You there,
The one reading this now,
I want you to do something foe me,
Smile.
Smile because you are beautiful
because you are amazing
because you are unique
because you are a fighter
because you are a survivor.
Smile because your smile is too beautiful to hide away.
Smile because today is a wonderful day and tomorrow is a new one.
Smile because no matter what you think, someone loves and appreciates you.
Smile because you deserve to.
I love that Word of Encouragement, it is by far one of my favorites. I just can't express enough how much she has helped me and how much I appreciate her for being in my life and making a positive difference everyday. She is truly a great soul, one you do not find often. I wish I could be a least half the person she is.
